FRANKIE FLOODS CUSTOM PIZZA CUTTERS

Artist
Frankie Flood's pizza cutters take inspiration from chopper motorcycles
and fringe culture.

If you didn't see them there, behold them here. Artist Frankie Flood
creates "machined pizza cutters [that] draw inspiration from chopper
motorcycles and attempt to reclaim the mythology and economic
usefulness of the American worker as patriarch; translating machine or
functional object into flesh and blood."

Mr. Flood grew up around toolmakers and now seeks to highlight the
artistic merit in their techniques, which he says goes overlooked by
those wielding it. While these pizza cutters are by nature overly
meticulous and "flamboyant" in their design, they are at once
practical. As such, they embody the same dichotomy Mr. Flood feels he
represents as an artist who makes functional objects. (As
opposed to, say, most of the loft-dwelling roustabouts in Williamsburg
who turn out utterly useless pieces of pabulum.)
